Radiologic Technology Certification

Radiologic technologists play a major role in modern healthcare. The results from their work are critical to diagnosing a variety of illnesses as well as instrumental in the advanced treatment of cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and more.

Successful radiologic professionals not only need a solid foundation in academics and hands-on clinicals, but are required to gain and maintain certification.

Prepare for your certification while earning your associate degree

At Herzing University, the Associate in Radiologic Technology program is approved by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT), which is the world's largest credentialing organization that seeks to ensure high-quality patient care in radiologic technology. This ARRT approval allows the Herzing University Radiologic Technology graduates to take the national certification examination of the ARRT. Successful completion of the examination allows the student to utilize the ARRT(R) credential.

To be eligible for certification, technologists must graduate from an ARRT-approved program and pass an examination. In order to maintain an ARRT certification, 24 hours of continuing education must be completed every 2 years. Click here for more information.
